Re: terminating employee for lying about whereabouts when out sick, late, @ dr.
If the employee is at-will, then he/she may be terminated for any non-discriminatory reason or for no reason. However, if the employer is a contract employee, employed for a specific term, he/she may only be terminated in accordance with the contract, wither pursuant to a provision or if he/she is in breach.
